If all you want is a low-resolution monitor with good color calibration you can pick up an old Cinema Display for a couple hundred bucks that will do the same thing.

- closetohome 5y agoYou must be thinking of another brand. Apple has never sold a Cinema Display with a TN panel, and the later ones were LED backlit.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoReally? I thought IPS didn't even exist in those days. But I still doubt they manage the same quality and colour depth as a current midrange display. I have some old Eizos from that era and they're no match for my 200 euro 4K LG. They weren't IPS though but PVA..
- pxmpxm 5y agoThe original cinema ones were IPS with ccfl that get hot enough to cook with.
- washadjeffmad 5y agoWhen we replaced all of our Cinema displays and 2010-2012 iMacs, the next big request that followed was for space heaters.
- pxmpxm 5y agoI believe that, I had two of the 30in variety (150w a pop) - in the summer I had to run a fan across them to not feel like a rotisserie chicken.
